Yes this is true!!   I printed out a sample page from Pagemaker at
work on a True PostScript printer and again at home on my 180 DPI
Epson dot matrix.  The results were nearly Identical!!!   Except for
the resolution difference the two pages had the same spacing, layout
fonts, and justification.  I attribute this to the fact that ATM really
is the PostScript printers font engine for the PC.  Since PS is 
resolution INdependant the images were identical.
